    89 3.0L initial timing

    So my manual says 6 or 8 degrees advance timing depending on distributor; there was no way I could figure out which distributor I was running. BUT, I checked my initial timing before I pulled my old distributor to install my Mallory magnetic; the marina had it set to 1 degree. Interestingly...

    Sterndrive Engineering and your thoughts

    So here's the deal... my skeg is a bit dinged up and more importantly, got a bit of a bend/curve to it (enough that you can easily see it, but not so much that you'd use it as a square while building a house). I got a quote at $400 to cut it off, weld on a new one, smooth it out and refinish. I...

    Venting about my Fuel filter and MSD Ignition

    Okay, so I'm sure a lot of you are totally not interested, but I'm more than a little pissed right now. I'll give you a run down! Ordered a Mallory fuel filter/water separator (10 micron) last year; my 160 didn't come from the factory with any kind of filter outside of the one in the fuel...

    Jet Ski for transport in a truck bed?

    I read another post about jet ski's and I already had been looking around at them so I thought I'd get some ideas from you wise people! What I'm looking for is basically something $4k or less (less would be ideal; like $2k would be optimal); not sure that I need it to be able to pull a tube or...

    3.0L High Performance Rebuild

    Okay, so I used to play around with Pontiac Fiero's back in the day... the 4cyl version had the 2.5L, which is, as far as I can tell... the cousin to the 2.5 and 3.0L Mercruiser. I'm seriously considering going back to my 4cyl tweaking days and having some fun with my 3.0L. The last 2.5L I...

    Adding another battery

    Here's my situation, hopefully you guys have some good ideas for me! I've got a 160 Bow Rider which I've already installed a nice sized in-boat stereo, and it will soon be getting a wakeboard tower with speakers. These tower speakers will require an additional two amplifiers on top of the one...

    GUNN... please come in!

    First, hope I'm not aggravating anyone by doing this, if so; sorry in advance! Gunn... tried to shoot you a PM concerning your experience with re-carpeting your 175, but your box is full!!! How much carpet did you need and how difficult was it? Thanks!!

    Kicker KS60 6" Coaxial speakers for sale: NIB

    NEW IN BOX... I'm asking $70/pr firm (I have two pair). I'll give you the story as to why I'm selling brand new speakers... Last summer I went to install a new stereo in my boat and picked these up ($70 is what I paid; I've seen them sold for close to $100... which I think is a bit steep!!)...

    160 Stereo upgrade (and looking for opinions on interior)

    Hello ladies and gentlemen! I'm obviously new here, but I thought I'd share the stereo upgrade I did on my 89 160 BR last summer, along with some new additions planned this spring and see if I could get some input on upgrading my interior! So here goes... first, pictures of the stereo install...

    Another new member!!

    Hi everyone... I'm Nate... Fairly new to boating. I decided last winter/early spring that I wanted to get a small runabout for weekend fun at the many lakes here in mid-Michigan. SO, I called up my buddy Greg who's family owns/runs Trition Industries (manufactures of Manitou Pontoons) and had...
